MagicBricks: In a scenario where individuals are considering property as an investment option, how do they ensure safety of property while leasing it out?

Asha Basu: Firstly do check the antecedents of the tenant. Get the tenant verification form filled up. Also ensure that the lease deed contains all the necessary clauses relating to rent, term of the lease, reasons of termination and repairs. All these clauses will have to be stated quite clearly in the agreement.
